#Ticats acquire rights to two Windsor players. #CFL

Here's something I didn't know: after each CFL draft, each team gets to protect two non-drafted players in the hopes of signing them. Apparently, the order is determined the same way as the waiver order priority.

The Ticats chose to protect two players from the University of Windsor: Jordan Brescacin, a six-foot-four, 180 pound receiver and Seamus Postuma a six-foot-three, 300 pound defensive end who the team may try and convert into an offensive lineman.

The CFL did a draft profile of Brescacin.

No video that I can find on Postuma but he was at the CFL evaluation camp and finihed fourth in the bench press with 30 reps.

- In other news, we turn to twitter to get the latest on the Alouettes. Gazette beat guy Herb Zurkowsky says the team has released three players and signed former Ticat defensive back Kyries Hebert.

@herbzurkowsky1: Am being told by source #Als have released MLB Ramon Guzman, RE Kitwana Jones, DB Greg Laybourn and have signed Kyries Hebert.

And the Twitter account of general manager Jim Popp (@PoppJim) indicates that the team has added defensive end Tyrone Crawford to their neg list. Crawford, who was the No. 1 ranked prospect in last week's CFL draft, wasn't selected after being picked by Dallas in the NFL draft.
